Comments on: Is it Kosher for Mishkin’s Not To Be Kosher? https://youngandfoodish.com/is-it-kosher-for-mishkins-not-to-be-kosher/ Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:45:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Daniel Young https://youngandfoodish.com/is-it-kosher-for-mishkins-not-to-be-kosher/#comment-1661 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:45:50 +0000 http://youngandfoodish.com/?p=9771#comment-1661 In reply to Joe.

Joe – There is truth in what you say. Since moving the UK I’ve bought into the fiction of equating a pound with a dollar when perusing menus, even back was a dollar was only worth 50p. It’s been the only way to keep my sanity and preserve my appetite.

Not knocking this review or the food itself, but I went here a few weeks ago and was vastly disappointed yet not surprised it’s another London venture trying to do ‘New York’ or ‘America’ at 1/3 the portion and double the price.

It wasn’t the kosher vs non-kosher issue, I went in with eyes wide open. It was that I simply didn’t think it was very good. Too much of what I ate was bland.

I’m really surprised to read that they source their beef from Hensens. I’d have thought they would want to home cure, it’s really not such a difficult thing to do/

Thank you, Niamh. I’d add one point: There is kosher beef and there is non-kosher beef. But pork and eel are never kosher. As a result I can see even people who don’t keep kosher thinking this sounds the wrong note.

Dino – 30 percent may be generous. The hope is that Mishkin’s success will help us to get to where we want to be.

Personally I like it and have always had an interest in Jewish food (I have several cookbooks), but obviously keeping kosher wouldn’t be an issue for me as it would for others.
